Intentional Discipling relationships are established by two people with the specific intent of growing in Christian maturity and/or ministry or ministry skills.
These relationships may take the form of “Spiritual Friendship”, “Mentoring”, or “Spiritual Direction.”
Generally they will include activities of reading the bible together, praying for one another and sharing the activity of God in each other’s lives.
